HS Elective one point perspective

High-School students learned the basics behind one-point perspective, and put it to life by drawing their own photographs. 

High-school elective abstracts

The final project for the HS elective was to use their drawing skills they learned in the class and create an abstract correlating one of our major projects into the theme: portraits, object details or perspective.

Below are some of the beautiful results:

Object drawing

The high-school students chose a real-life object to bring to class and draw in 9 different perspectives: zoomed in or out, the bottom, the top, and any angle they could think of. They colored them with colored pencil when they finished.

3 Part Portrait Series

Here are the final results. What a great progression!

Pop Art portraits

After completing part I (self portrait) and part II (celebrity portraits) in pencil, we moved onto adding color to part III of our portrait series. Students traced a person of their choice 4 times on a piece of large paper. After that, they painted or colored in oil pastel in 4 bright pop-art style colors in each square. We were inspired by And Warhol's celebrity portraits. . . 

Andy Warhol's Marilyn Munroe

First they used the light table to trace.

Once they were ready, they used paint or oil pastel to fill it in with color blocks. They could only use 4 different colors in each square.

These are a work in progress. Soon we will be finishing up the 3 portrait series and comparing them altogether.
